The Boston Celtics suffered an unexpected defeat to the struggling Detroit Pistons, but the biggest story of the night came after the game—when Kristaps Porzingis didn’t hold back his frustration with a teammate.
Following the loss, Porzingis expressed his disappointment, calling one player’s performance “terrible.” Though he didn’t name anyone specifically, his frustration was clear when speaking to reporters.
“This kind of effort is unacceptable,” Porzingis said. “Some guys need to step up. Tonight, it just wasn’t good enough.”
Despite being heavy favorites, the Celtics struggled on both ends, allowing Detroit to pull off an upset. While Porzingis played well individually, the lack of effort from certain teammates clearly frustrated him.
Fans are already speculating about who he was referring to, with some pointing to defensive lapses and costly mistakes in the game’s final moments.
With Boston in the midst of a highly competitive season, emotions are running high. Porzingis’ comments could either serve as a wake-up call for the team or create tension in the locker room. One thing is certain—he’s demanding more from his teammates.
